Borrowing FAC?

[fjer20 0]

I'm currently waiting for my FAC to come in the post, I have applied for a 22 rimfire on an open license. My dad has a 22 rimfire that i'm going to be using, the question i have is does he have to sign it over to me or can i just borrow it like u do with shotguns? The only info i have found on borrowing FAC's says only land owners can lend rifles out, but what about FAC holder to FAC holder when appropriate slots are on the certificate...

 

any feed back would be helpful!

 

cheers

Fac rifles can be shared BUT have to be on both parties FAC .

Damn it, for once I have to agree with Coldweld! For you to use it unsupervised you will need to have it on your ticket. Also if you are to share storage you will need all the weapons on your ticket as well as your fathers.

 

Be careful of the "estate condition". Where it says "land owner" that covers someone who holds shooting rights over the land, so not just the land owner, but a gamekeeper or a hunter who holds rights over the land. What it also states is that the use must be SUPERVISED. I.E. the holder must be within sight and sound of you while you're using the rifle. They can't just hand it over and let you wander off with it legally!
